Hi there. I would like to introduce a subject that is of vast importance to me which is my spiritual beliefs. I could and should use the term, Christian to describe them but experience has shown me that even the introduction of this word can cause some people either to switch off completely or to partially do so. One chap once asked me what type of Christian I was a methodist, baptist, anglican or catholic maybe? When I told him that I wasn't any of these I just had faith in God he appeared distinctly worried. The truth is that I have friends in all of these denominations and I myself have visited anglican, baptist and methodist churches before. I suppose I could say that I attend an international group of churches called New Frontiers, which are fairly lively and whose 'brand' of Christianity is closest to what I believe. But my real allegiance is to the person of Jesus Christ. The picture I have chosen is a relatively recent one (a few months old) of a small midweek group I attend which we sometimes refer to as a Growth Group (although the group has since got bigger and divided). I have known virtually all these people for at least many months and they are a normal, pleasant bunch. I would hope that people would find me normal and pleasant too!!!
